While Fredette isn't a lights-out scorer (5.9 points per game this season), he's efficient (47.7 percent shooting, 49.3 percent 3-point this season) and can help Chicago snap out of its shooting woes. The Bulls, battling for playoff positioning, are currently fourth in the East.

The third-year pro averages seven points and 15 minutes per game for his career.

Fredette dazzled at BYU, leading the nation in scoring at 28.5 points per game and guiding the Cougars to the final 16 in the NCAA tournament as a senior. He was the Associated Press' player of the year and the 10th pick in the 2011 draft, but he never lived up to his billing in Sacramento. The constant chatter about moving not to mention the fact that he played for three coaches and two ownership groups probably didn't help, and it was clear his time with the Kings was coming to an end when they decided not to pick up his option for 2014-15 before this season.

Chicago could be a good fit for him, given his ability to stretch the floor even if he's not exactly a top-tier defender.

Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson weren't, either, but they flourished under Thibodeau last year and parlayed their success into contracts with other teams. D.J. Augustin is excelling this season, averaging 13.3 points since he signed with the Bulls in December after being waived by Toronto.

If Fredette can knock down shots and show some improvement on defense, he could find a role with the Bulls at least for the rest of the season.
